06:017:008 Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the
border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
06:017:009 And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the
river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of
Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of
the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
06:017:010 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's,
and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on
the north, and in Issachar on the east.
06:017:011 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her
towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor
and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and
the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants
of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.
06:017:012 Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the
inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in
that land.
06:017:013 Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen
strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not
utterly drive them out.
06:017:014 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast
thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I
am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me
hitherto?
06:017:015 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get
thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in
the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim
be too narrow for thee.
06:017:016 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for
us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the
valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean
and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
06:017:017 And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and
to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great
power: thou shalt not have one lot only:
06:017:018 But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou
shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for
thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron
chariots, and though they be strong.
06:018:001 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled
together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the
congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
06:018:002 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes,
which had not yet received their inheritance.
